My 2017 Report

Today is the last day of 2017.  The weather prediction might be right about a wet and stormy night for New Year Eve celebrations tonight. Its very overcast and humid now!!  Not sure if I will go out or even be awake to see 2018 welcoming as I have came down with a summer cold this morning.

Didn't this year really fly by? Could say I had a busy year of doing part time job in retail and babysitting.  During the second semester I was studying a course which ended when school finished for the year. I was studying Education Support and had one term of work experience at a public primary school.  I mostly worked in the junior grades by assisting the classroom teacher with admin work, supervising and assisting some students with their education needs and playground duty. 

My craft meets didn't happened as much in semester two as my course taken up most of my time. I mainly attending to meets on some weekends per month.  I mostly done my own thing with an odd workshop activity/lesson.  Next year I plan on just focus on one thing as I am well behind with the projects. I am hoping to use this summer break to prepare many pages to scrapbook in 2018.

I was still bowling on Sunday nights.  My league went for 46 weeks and managed not to come last in our league standings. I didn't bowl many high games at all.  Maybe it should be something I should focus more on in 2018. Next year it looks to be new members will be joining the league.  There were discussions about changing centres but I am glad the plan fell through as I wasn't going to travel an extra 30 minutes to get there. During the year we had a couple of social events with the league.  We had a couple of dining outs and one day of putt putt on the Gold Coast. The league committee is seeking new fundraising ideas for 2018.  Does anyone have any suggestions?

Better go and get some food shopping done before the storm comes later on. Happy New Year!  I hope 2018 will be happy, healthy and safe year for you and your families.  If you planning to make New Year Resolutions I hope you will be able to sick to them.

Merry Christmas!

Only one sleep to go!   I hope everyone is well prepared by now as officially tomorrow will be the biggest day for most people. 

Before the shops close this afternoon I need to purchase and prepare the fresh food ready for tomorrow. Hopefully the shops will be abit quieter. Most supermarkets had been open to midnight during this week. I called into one after 10pm on Friday night and I was amazed how silent night it really was.

Later this afternoon I have plans to watch a Christmas movie at the cinema with a friend.  And on Boxing Day we already got tickets to see the latest Doctor Who movie length episode in the afternoon.

Either tonight but more likely tomorrow I will be out and about during the day to hand deliver my Christmas cards into some mailbox as I didn't get around to writing up Christmas cards until yesterday. Others will be posted as they live too far away.

Tomorrow I will be at my daughters from late afternoon to have our family dinner there. She has plans to be with her partner's family during the day.

Best wishes for a happy and safe festive season with your families.  I hope 2018 will be a happy and healthy year for all.
